The lowdown: This 27-year-old consignment shop has a tony address in a Lincoln Park brownstone. You’ll climb stairs to get in, but the store provides stroller locks to secure your strollers street-side.
The merch: High-end threads for infants to size 14 come from the likes of Lilly Pulitzer, Mini Boden and Ralph Lauren, and styles are less than three years old. The maternity selection is similarly swanky, and includes items from Japanese Weekend and Mimi Maternity. Rounding out the selection is wooden toys, Thomas & Friends trains, Legos, American Girl doll accessories, and baby equipment like exer-saucers and strollers.
The deal: Items are generally priced one-third to one-half of what they would sell for new, and the consigner keeps a third of the profit. You receive payment when your merch sells. After three months, unsold items are donated to charity.
